"Wonderful post, Ellen. Yes, we need joy in out writing. Otherwise it becomes a chore, and the smile goes. Like many other creatives, my writing feels like an ocean wave. Sometimes it's up, and the words flow. Other times, it's down, and…"

Olga, just a gentle reminder that in the novelist group (as indicated at the top of the page) we don't post links to blog posts. We try to keep the wall for conversation, and if we allow any links to blog posts, they tend to swamp other conversation, so we just don't allow them. Thanks!

My post will go up tomorrow with descriptions of what people are writing on, you'll also see the questions then.
